2017 Volkswagen GTI Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I love the car. The turbo makes driving everyday fun. The heated seats are awesome in the winter and I prefer the Clark plaid over the leather. The google car play is a great feature also. Being able to get navigation from your phone displayed on the car screen is a huge plus. I have had the car a little over 6 months and haven't had any issues and I also have a little over 14000 miles. The car is comfortable in traffic and on long trips. I would prefer it had a sunroof and I've seen cars with nicer wheels. But there really isn't much about the car I would say I would change. Stock from the factory it has all the comfort you need touch screen radio with satellite. And steering wheel controls are a huge plus it has volume control and ability to answer phone calls via Bluetooth. You can also scroll through the radio stations on the steering wheel. The car also has the ability to give you tips to save fuel economy through a blue menu. It will tell you when you are doing things that are wasting fuel like having your windows open or your car running stationary. All in all I would recommend the golf gate to anyone interested it has enough space to have 4 adults comfortably in it and the hatch back gives you the ability to fit a bike in the back with the seats down.

Performance is great. It is a really fun car to drive and very reliable. It is terribly small inside, though. Not a lot of cargo space or leg room. Having heated seats as a base option is nice. The interior is very well laid out and having apple CarPlay is a bonus. It accelerates really well.

Great quality of materials on the inside and outside. The handling and power is good for the size. The hatchback makes it practical to be able to move a lot of things.

I like the power, the quick/direct steering, the e-differential, and the versatility of the hatchback form factor. I like the interior styling with plaid seats, and the subtle, "mature" hot hatch styling of the exterior. I have no complaints so far.

The reliability of this car is great! Having features that allow me to look at issues that come up at my fingertip has been helpful. The Audio system is another great feature that allows for Versatility by allowing you to listen to the radio or use other media streaming resources. Overall, it is a fun cat to drive and looks great too!

I love how the car is manufactured. It is feels like it is made with quality materials. It fits into the sporty category as well as a family car. It is on the smaller side but it is very easy to drive. Turning radius is awesome and fits into anywhere. Gas consumption is good, normal day to day driving can get you about 20-25 mpg. The only bad thing so far with VW is that my battery died so quickly. The car is only 3 years old but I had to replace the battery. It does drive smooth and it is a very comfortable ride.

Love my gti. Fun and peppy. Have the manual transmission which are hard to find nowadays. I installed a sunroof afterwards. Wish I wouldn't have cheated out and would have gotten the model with that included. The only thing I don't like is that the seat is too low and the steering wheel has to be low so I can see over the wheel.

Lots of good comfort and safety features. Adaptive cruise control is amazing. The adaptive headlights are great and they're led so I do not need to worry about replacing bulbs. Driving my gti in sport mode is much more fun than driving my prior car. Get one!
